Good Sir, I expect there to be major differences of opinion on such matters which in my case leads me to believe this is further proof of the imperfection of the medium of communication, i.e. a given written human language for if it were indeed the direct Word of God I should think all would be swayed by its sheer perfection. One would like to think one's own language was the Chosen Language but I ask you to put yourself in God's Eyes as the Creator of All planets and galaxies.

For us to see the Earth from above the Milky Way, something the ancients didn't know about, would be the same as if you were on the space station and were trying to see a single DNA molecule inside a person's hand below. And that's just to see the Earth, let alone a microscopic individual on the surface. Now imagine God looking down on Creation and seeing trillions of such galaxies and quadrillions, if not infinite planets and lifeforms ALL lovingly created together as one tapestry of Reality. The improbability of selecting one microbe to address seems less likely than if we decided to speak to a bacterium in a petri dish.

That said, I can certainly concede that each part of the whole could easily be infused with the Holy Spirit and thus receptive to the Word so it not impossible but I am still left unsatisfied because the ability to convince 6 or 7 billion non-Muslim folks on this one planet that God is the author has not worked which is indeed a disappointing result for such a miraculous Book. On top of this, I have seen an enormous amount of violent coercion of the centuries to force folks to believe and to do away with the unbelievers and apostates (applies to a number of religions). This is another contradiction to me that Allah would set one group of His creation against another, well knowing we would disagree or wouldn't have the native language to read it so a form of unfairness which I can't possibly attribute to the Merciful One.

One would have to concede that this would necessarily be repeated on other planets OR that no other planets matter and the rest are merely there for "filler" or "entertainment" for humans and only Earth is so blessed which also seems absurd to me. Do they speak Arabic on those planets too? Doubtful.

My mission is is stand up for the Perfection of the Creator and to make sure folks respect the Awesome power that runs the stars and give equal Light to all, not a select few. This to me is the true path to Peace and Harmony on this planet.
